This is EricTheCarGuy's "other" channel where I cover things that are not necessarily repair related and talk more about the business of auto repair and what it is to become and work as an automotive technician. I guess you could call this the EricTheCarGuy vlog. New videos posted every Monday.
Hey dude, thanks for mentioning hondas had issues with their ac. My aunt was saying her ac wasn't working right and she drives a 2016 civic. After about 20 minutes of research I found the bulletin for the 2016-2019 civics ac compressor shaft seal leak from Honda. Thanks again bro!
That said, that being said having said that, all that being said, and with all that having being said. Is RU-vid giving cash perks for using any of the aforementioned variants? I'm grateful for the content, thank you but every channel no matter the content...there's the phrase!
Most differential failures are caused by a bad metal on the bearing race since they don't use timken bearings and race and quality gears made in USA or Germany like in 1950 s
Yea it's not good when they make a poor product like this! Where is their quality control. I guess you could have tried grinding or cutting off a little of the center adjuster to make it shorter?
Could one possibly just bypass the power steering? If i can turn my truck without the power steering is ot safe to do so? The ps pump on my 98 c1500 went out and ive had to more or less make due by just letting it be out and dumping power steering fluid into itbto prevent metal grinding as much as possible. Be it dry or adequately full it turns jusy the same and doesnt have much noise. Could i just go without power steering?
I drive a YUGO there is just something about hammering that carb-fed SOHC 1-liter inline-four with 55hp at a stop light and watching everyone beat me to my garage for repairs.
Wow, doing dodge/chrysler 2.7 lined it up perfectly, rotated to watch them realign any one that's done anything with timing knows the feeling that over took me instantly when it never did line back up but I only rotated it 20 times maybe.
The thing about 4WD is that when you need it, it's mandatory. Either you're putting chains on in the snow, calling a tow truck, and/or not getting to your destination at all. It's not immoral to option your vehicle with something that might literally save your life, even if you rarely use it. Even if the environmental haters frown.
Ratio If both gears in the system had the same amount of teeth the mark would be the same all the time. Wear and lack of tensioning are why the timing marks don’t line up perfectly. You are smack full of shit. Happy birthday day
Just happened to me last week. Came home from a week long vacay and found my Outlander in the airport parking garage missing its cat 😢Pay $26 per day to park there but police said they can’t guarantee any safety. Was only about 100 feet from the terminal doors, where anyone could have seen them, and they still took it.
I went to the master muffler in Utah and had my exhaust changed and they stole my Cal converter and I was really pissed off because it wasn’t nurse. It was mine and my sucks ass. I should’ve called the cops, but my husband was like no big deal. I’m like fuck that but anyway don’t go to master muffler do it somewhere else I don’t know.❤
I know this video was made some time ago but SO GLAD I found it before I dropped a bunch of money on new Moog suspension parts for my 99 Chevy Tahoe. Thank you Sir!
Yeah, I agree with you, Eric. I did not go to school, but I’ve always been very astute and researched a lot. I got my eight ASE certifications and they are all right, it was the diligent studying that helped me when I worked as a technician.
I can agree, in recently took a specialist ASE and the practice test I kept either just barely passing or I wouldn’t even be close and I just took my test on Monday and actually was allot easier and I got a good score
Thanks again Eric. I recently bought my daughter a buick encore with the 1.4l engine. Had a tick and was sure it wasn’t lifters when I bought it, so of course I youtubed it. Sure enough I found a guy showing how the cam chain guide gets loose. So I pulled the valve cover and found the same problem. Found quite sludgy and was looking for a flushing agent on here when I run one your vid. Totally makes sense to me what you described. And with what I’ve read about these engines since I bought this thing 😳 I don’t want to tempt fate. Thanks again. And take care.
You don't have to necessarily use a scanner for those electronical calipers either they have a manual procedure you can do if you don't have a scanner.
